Normand Smith Patton was a partner in the Chicago architectural firm Patton & Miller that designed a few libraries in Nebraska, and over one hundred of the 1,679 Carnegie library buildings erected between 1886 and 1919. He was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1852. He was educated at Amherst College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1885 he joined in partnership with Reynolds Fisher. Grant Miller joined the firm at the end of the century, and Fisher departed in 1901. Normand Patton passed away in 1915.[3]
